NASA’s EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission has taken its first measurements. These “first light” observations show that EZIE is poised to reveal crucial details about Earth’s auroral electrojets — powerful electric currents that flow through our upper atmosphere where auroras glow in the sky. This information will help us better understand Earth’s connection to space and mitigate the negative impacts of […]
